The Hatted Professor in his 1920s Dobbs Derby The Employees

Employees of C&K and Affiliated/Subsequent Companies

This website is about more than just the founders and owners of the C&K companies.  The workers who made, marketed, and sold the hats were just as important throughout the history of Crofut & Knapp and its affiliated and subsequent companies, such as Dobbs & Co., John Cavanagh, Ltd., or Hat Corporation of America.

To honor the work they did, this page is for the C&K employees to be remembered, so that their stories are part of its legacy and will not be forgotten.  This page will serve to share their stories with the world!

If you, a family member, or an ancestor worked for Crofut & Knapp or one of its affiliated or subsequent companies, please feel free to enter the information below.  Once it is submitted, it will go into the Employee List, where anyone can view it.

Note: If you would like to include a photo with your Employee, please e-mail it to me separately through the "Contact Me" page. I can't include them in the comments, but will include them in a future, separate page for you. Thanks!
